Old Cloisters and castles help visitors reflect on Russia's past and give the history of the country and interesting perspective.

The more you travel the country, the more you will come to realize just how extensive the history and traditions of the country truly are. Russia is also a culturally diverse country, with dozens of ethnic groups each contributing their own languages, religious beliefs, customs and folk music. The rich blend that results from the cosmopolitan mixture is fascinating to discover and visitors will find that there is always something new to explore and learn about.
